Fee Structure

Minimum Investment:$1K

The OMP program has an annualized account fee, negotiable up to a maximum of 2.50% of assets, charged quarterly in advance. LPL also assesses a $5 transaction charge on each purchase and sale, but this is waived if an eligible contribution was made in the previous 365 days. Clients also pay other miscellaneous administrative or custodial-related fees. There are also fees charged by the Optimum Funds themselves. If the account is closed within the first six months, LPL and LPLE reserve the right to retain the pre-paid quarterly Account Fee.
